Rozárie Mrázová | Gr. | Goalkeeper | Rakovnik, Czech Republic / University of J.E. Purkyne in Usti and Labem
The MAC Goalkeeper of the Week for a second time, Mrázová was sensational against a pair of nationally-ranked teams, stopping 14-of-17 shots sent her way. She began with a career-high 13 saves in Friday's 3-2 win over No. 14 Miami. The career high includes her time at Maine. She helped the Minutewomen to victory despite being outshot 30-5 for the game. She had three saves in the first, four in the second, two in the third and four in the fourth. Mrázová shut out Miami for the game's first 46:45, as the Minutewomen held opponents scoreless for 26+ straight quarters. She also helped shut down 15 of Miami's 17 penalty corners, extending the Minutewomen's streak to 44 straight penalty corners defended before giving up a fourth-quarter goal. Her late first-quarter save was No. 5 on SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays of the Day. Mrázová also made a huge save with 1:02 remaining to help ice the victory. She went on to make a save on Sunday at No. 7 UConn, a very impressive first-quarter stop to keep the game scoreless. Mrázová made several shootout saves as well, as the game went to eight rounds of shootouts, including another SportsCenter Top 10 play in the shootout that made No. 8 on its daily countdown.
Leah Nisenfeld | Jr. | Goalkeeper | Reno, Nev. / Robert McQueen
Leah Nisenfeld played 180 minutes in net for UMass on the 0-0-2 week. Nisenfeld posted a 1.00 goals against average and a .833 save percentage, with a total of 10 saves. In the 2-2 tie with Bowling Green, she stopped six shots and allowed two goals. Against Toledo, the junior did not allow a goal and made four saves to collect her sixth shutout of the season.
